But how much clout do we have with a small number of people posting? ------------------- again how many 'real people' make up the Nielsen ratings - political polls... when you look you'll be stunned how small numbers are extrapolated. I am not saying we can change the world here, but are we representative of a particular portion of their base- and enough to be valid for that niche - I believe that answer is yes.

The problem is The Mouse doesn't have a clue what it is doing long-term to its brand (just read barboy's WDW bashfest thread with lots of enjoyment but no time to comment) ... if it did, it might hire some of us Spirits. TWDC is being managed ... it isn't being allowed to be an organic, dynamic, cutting edge entertainment company. Making Wall Street happy with the next quarter's results is a recipe to long term stagnation and mediocrity and, possibly, worse.
